Rob Hordijk's G2 Tutorial is a great resource for learning about the G2. After you read the manual, this is a great resource. Wait. I have that wrong! Read this before the manual. If you are thinking about getting a G2, read this.

Rob is a master synthesist, and an excellent writer. Rob's contributions should be considered one of the G2's best features. Last edited by mosc on Tue Sep 05, 2006 12:31 pm; edited 2 times in total

yeah it's helpful, but soon it will be cool to have some patch examples with the text so we can tweak & hear what he explains us.
Sometimes I would like to have a more str8 forward,synthetic tutorial with what module do what & for what purpose.
Clavia's manual miss that point for each module a concrete/practical example/patch.
Cos when U start even with all those tutorial & website,I get confused so I stick to the preset & tweak 'em & I try to redo some G1 patch on my G2.
But I still enjoy the sound & interface of this great machine.
Plus the next OS update should bring us to the DX7 operator & other new stuff...GREAT._________________Fuck the friendship,I ride alone

I'm actually kind of glad there are no included patch examples. All the screen shots he includes, give you all you need to know to recreate it... and much like transcribing a score, I think it's quite a valuable process to copy the patch, instead of just loading it up. You have to think more about where things are connecting, and why.

There are two reasons why there are no actual patches but only screenshots. First of all it is to avoid the dogmatic idea of 'this is how it is done so just download and use it'. Instead the examples are ways how it might be done, but there are always more possibilities. Experimenting and figuring out how it works and finding other ways and variations to do things are the purpose. Which brings up the second reason; there is no easy way to learn things; building up a patch oneself is the way to get going.

These tutorials are not published for those that just want to download patches, it is written for those who want to increase their own patching skills and want to be more creative while patching. The tutorials basically show ways of thinking that can be used when building more complex patches, but they do not necessarily present final answers. In fact, myself I consider these tutorials more like an open discussion than 'tutorials'.
